Problem with sa-learn and virtual user

[Jean-Edouard Babin <ra...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
My mail system use virtual user.
I use spamd like this
spamd --virtual-config-dir=/srv/spamassassin/%d/%l -x -u dovecot -c -i
127.0.0.1 -d -r /var/run/spamd.pid
I run spamc with
/usr/pkg/bin/spamc -u ${recipient} -f -e ...

This work fine, each user can use it's own sa config.

But i would like to be able to run sa-learn for spefic users

I tryed sa-lean --username user@domaine.tld --spam files

But as I can see with debug (-D) it use bayes file of the unix user running
the command.

So i'm wondering how i sould do, I'm especially wondering how sa-learn can
now that it should use /srv/spamassassin/%d/%l for bayes file but did not
find the answer.

Ok, -p seem to be fine also, but it's of course a less automatic solution.

thanks,

Yes, the --username in sa-learn *ONLY* works with SQL backends, as per 
the docs.

you'd have to use the --dbpath option to over-ride SA's default idea of 
where the bayes database lives.

I think there is another way, but can't remember offhand.

Look back through the mailing list. It was discussed a few months ago.
